I think that was vs the White Sox.

I could've sworn it was in Wrigley.

Add Jackson to that as well. Remains to be seen if Buckel ever gets his head right.

I couldn't find it on hit tracker. No clue though.

Banister ill, misses pre-Opening Day workout | texasrangers.com

Man, that sucks for the Banny Rooster.

74-88

2016 we improve by 12-15 wins.
2017 and 2018 we contend for division and October baseball once again.

Good luck to Bannister this season. For a 20 something year bench coach taking the reins for the first time with this bunch is going to be a daunting task. Hopefully this turns out to be a great hire but we shouldn't judge much based on this season.

Injury curse hopefully has had its fun with the Rangers and moves on to another organization.

Fatolo Colon bout to get that ass beat by the nats.

I'm learning more towards 80 than 75 myself. Team health will have a lot to do with it.

LOL Alex Rios hits a homer on opening day again...He won't hit another until July right? Fuck that guy and his shit effort in Texas.

All he cost was Leury Garcia ... thank goodness it wasn't Odor.

First day action that may presage the way the season will go for a couple of teams ...

• King Felix notches up another win against LAA. Love it.
• Toronto taking NYY deep on the road.
• Rockies ... WHOA!

Surprises ...

• Mets over Nats ... Scherzer's welcome to the NL at the hands of Colon! Hah!
• Pedroia loves BOS didn't acquire Hamels yet ... and his 7.20ERA.

Bummer of the day ... SDP loss to LAD.

Bastard hit a total of 2 HR's last year after the AS break, watch him hit 25 this year. Prick

So Rick Porcello signed an extension for 20 mill per season... for 4 years.

Am I missing something here?!

This from Bowden:

5. Adrian Beltre will be traded at the July trade deadline.

The Rangers made a shrewd move in February when they picked up the club option on Beltre through the 2016 season. The move put Beltre at ease, as he now doesn't have to worry about an injury or decline. However, from the Rangers' perspective, it increased his trade value significantly come the July trade deadline. I don't expect Texas to be in contention at that point, but I do expect their top third-base prospect Joey Gallo to be major league-ready. Therefore, it only makes sense that Beltre is dealt to a contending team at that time for a prospect package. Contenders that could have interest at that time include the Nationals (with Rendon moving back to second base), Giants, Padres, White Sox and Indians.

6. Prince Fielder and Matt Harvey will be comeback players of the year

I predict Harvey will clearly place himself as one of the top three starting pitchers in the NL. The right-hander will be a serious Cy Young candidate but fall short because the Mets will limit his innings pitched to the 160-180 range. However, the Mets will prepare properly for him to be ready for October playoff games if they make it. Fielder, who was limited to 42 games last year that resulted in just three home runs, will not only have a bounce-back year but will win the American League Comeback Player of the Year Award. I predict .280/.375/.524 with 31 home runs and 111 RBIs.

I'm thinking it's the other way around. @Ken_Rosenthal: #RedSox lock up Porcello....

What's he going to be ... #3 or #4? Locking up a guy who is at his ceiling?

Locking up a guy is fine... but for a #3/#4 at 20 million per season?!?

Report: Padres searching for upgrade at shortstop

Tue, 07 Apr 2015 12:58 PM ET

The Padres closed out an action-filled offseason by acquiring closer Craig Kimbrel from the Braves Sunday, and it seems as if the team is not done dealing. The Padres are "scouring" the market for an upgrade at shortstop, USA Today reports.

Seven of the team's nine starters on Opening Day were acquired this offseason, including the first five hitters in the lineup and starting pitcher James Shields. The team gave the start at shortstop to Clint Barmes, who went 1 for 3 with a double and two strikeouts in the team's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers. Alexi Amarista, who pinch-hit for Barmes late in the game, also figures to see playing time at shortstop if the team can't land an up

Theres always Andrus if they consider that an upgrade?
